WoW. For some reason I don't know why, we don't have that here even though there is a creek about 1/2 mile from here. A field to the front with woods smacked up to them. A field in the back with woods behind it also. We do smell the occasional skunk. I've never seen any coons either. Squirrels none existing even though we have 2 walnut trees in the front yard. I've lived here about 6 years and never seen more then a chipmunk. I guess I'm just lucky.

My freedom rangers have done great. One loss to a heart attack when my daughter scared it. We are it, tasted good. They are very active. I do have one with leg problems and one that is very small but active. This Saturday is processing day!

Sorry, can't keep up with all my social networking so BYC has been losing out although chickens are my favorite to chat about and I have some good stories lately. On phone so ill be brief. You still want Burger right? Can't come Saturday because of Gwen's preschool fundraiser barn dance. Too bad because I love to around other people with similar passions. Ill be up early Sun though!
